Arya had spent her entire life locked in a golden cage—protected, cherished, yet never allowed to see the outside world. Though deeply loved, she couldn’t stop dreaming about what lay beyond her prison. One night, she finally escaped. Out in the unfamiliar world, she met Daxiel—a dangerously handsome Alpha. Captivated by him, she boldly asked him to be her boyfriend. He refused. Determined to explore on her own, Arya stepped further into the world—only to fall into its darkest side. She was kidnapped and sold into a brothel, where she witnessed cruelty she had never imagined. Just when all hope seemed lost, Daxiel rescued her. Shaken and terrified, Arya chose to return to her cage. It may have been dull, but at least it was safe. But this time— Daxiel refused to let her go. To make her stay, he agrees to fulfill her childish yet heartfelt wish: to go on A–Z dates—one for every letter of the alphabet. As they journey through each experience, Arya begins to see the beauty hidden within the world she once feared… while Daxiel slowly learns what it truly means to live. But the world is not only beautiful. Will Arya face its darkness again—or run back to her cage? And as Daxiel grows attached to the life she brings him… will he be able to hold on to her— or lose her to a past he cannot escape? “And why is he so determined to keep her by his side?”

A Gen Z employee named Sylvie Mercer has reported me to the Department of Labor by claiming that I've forced all employees to work on the year-end holidays. But the truth is, I've given the entire company a nine-day vacation just to celebrate the year-end holidays. Those who are willing to work overtime shifts will be paid three times their usual salaries and given an additional five-thousand-dollar bonus. Sylvie keeps crying on the internet about how all the employees, including her, are forced to trade their lives for money. Thanks to her, the entire Internet keeps bashing me. So, I decide to follow the public opinion by releasing an announcement. "In order to ensure all employees' health, the company's doors shall be locked during the year-end holidays. Do note that the electric supply will be cut off as well. No one is permitted entry into the company." As soon as the announcement is released, the employees who plan on earning extra money in order to pay off their mortgages all rush toward my office in alarm.

***This book contains violence, cursing, sexual content, and talk of suicide, enjoy at your discretion.*** I was walking through an unknown foggy forest when I spotted a field of wildflowers. My feet had a mind of their own as they led me to wander through the flowers. I nonchalantly dragged my hands over the flowers. It was a beautiful and serene sight. I deeply inhaled the sweet scent of the flower and gave a little shudder of bliss. I closed my eyes and just absorbed the moment wanting to remember it. Suddenly the sounds of paws hitting the forest floor overwhelmed me. Then the forest was ignited with flames. Everything glowed vibrant oranges and reds as heavy smoke smothered me from above. I threw myself to the ground desperate for any trace of clean air. As I attempted to crawl out of the flowers a new sound harmonized with the thunder paws, screams and howls for help terrorized me. I clawed at the ground desperate to escape the menacing choir. Fire licked my skin and I screamed for help. Sobs escaped my lips as flaming branches fell on me from above. The smell of burning flesh was the only thing that consumed me as everything went dark.
